MacBook Pros with Thunderbolt, ATI/AMD Graphics?

Why AMD crap graphics?

I don't buy this ****.


I want: GeForce GT 445M >>> GeForce GT 555M

Photo is a FAKE!!!
it has Been Photo Shopped..

There is no way tey would put a more better GPU in a 15" than a 17"

If the 17" specs we have seen are the lower end then its not totally impossible that the higher end 15" would get a better GPU than it.

EDIT: I blew the image right up and compared the 15.4 to other 1s 5s and 4s in the image and they appear different on the individual pixel level. Its probably a fake.

6950 is far too grunty for 15" macbook.
No way it has a 6950 which is AMD second fastest Single GPU card on the market ATM.

I am 100% sure that It will not have a 6950

i know .
i was talking about relative performance, still does not change the fact that it is their second fastest "MOBILE" GPU.

I take it you're not a gamer? AMD was the only of the two providing its driver fixes for things like Steam (The Source Engine games) and StarCraft II for the Mac and having those drivers work on the first go. No CUDA cores, yeah, that sucks. AMD has Stream processors and for everything else, there's OpenCL, which ought to be mass-adopted anyway.

I AM a gamer. Thats why I recently built my own desktop and my MacBook has now become a secondary system.

My experience has always been that nvidia drivers are dramatically better than ATI/AMD. I've tried several different ATI/AMD GPUs in Windows and there has always been some sort of game ending driver problem, or the performance just wasn't as good as it should be thanks to drivers.

nvidia drivers in Windows, for me, have always been 100% stable. Every new release has always come with some sort of improvement.
